Alan Silvestri (born March 26, 1950, New York City) is an acclaimed American Academy Award nominated film score composer. He studied film scoring at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Silvestri is best known for his numerous collaborations with director Robert Zemeckis, having scored "Romancing the Stone" (1984), the "Back to the Future" trilogy (1985, 1989, 1990), "Forrest Gump" (1994), "Contact" (1997), "Cast Away" (2000) and "The Polar Express" (2004). He received Oscar nominations for Best Original Score for "Forrest Gump", a Best Song for "Believe" on "The Polar Express" Soundtrack, and two Grammy Awards for the music from "Cast Away" and the song "Believe" from "The Polar Express." Aside from his collaborations with Zemeckis, Silvestri is known for his work in "Predator" (1987) and "Predator 2" (1990), both of which are considered preeminent examples of action/sci-fi film scores.

Silvestri grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey [ [http://www.ascap.com/eventsawards/awards/filmtv/2002/mancini.html ASCAP Henry Mancini Award] , ASCAP. Accessed October 21, 2007.
